Gear is a type of item in Club Penguin Island that can be used to perform various actions. Gear that is obtained through leveling-up or adventures is portable and can be used anywhere on the island. There is also gear that can be found in certain locations and can be used even if the player hasn't obtained it yet. However, gear picked up from a set location can only be used in the surrounding area.
Gear can be used by pressing one of the three action buttons while holding it. Portable gear is stored in an inventory which can be accessed through the inventory on the bottom of the screen by clicking a green button with a hard hat and wrench on it.
Most gear can only be used with membership, with the exception of the Jackhammer, which was member-only prior to the 1.10.1 update. The Fishing Rod can also be used without membership, but only as part of the Bottled Maps adventure, and even then it cannot be used for its traditional function of fishing for coins and XP.

Non-portable versions of gear can be brought out of their area and still function normally if the player uses the map to go to a different zone while holding the gear. However, getting within the range they are normally only supposed to be used in will result in the player automatically putting the gear away.
If this is done with the Fishing Rod, it cannot be used at all, even in other bodies of water, as it is coded to only work when used on the fishing dock at the Beacon Boardwalk.
